With Dyslexia awareness month only a few days away, we’d like to highlight just how exceptional 2022 has been for the dyslexic community:

Firstly, 2022 was the year that LinkedIn, the world’s largest careers platform, added Dyslexic Thinking as a skill on their platform. Now, over 10,000 people have proudly added Dyslexic Thinking as a skill on LinkedIn.

Secondly, the term “Dyslexic Thinking” has now entered the dictionary. You can view the entry here.

Redefining dyslexia is just the start, and with Dyslexia awareness month taking place this October, we’d like to share our five most popular resources for teachers, parents and carers  to help raise awareness and empower dyslexic learners everywhere!
